How wide is the opening of the decanter? I want to add a stopper to this and I want to make sure what size I need to order.

BEST ANSWER:This is a lovely decanter; if you'll look on the site (here's the link just in case something gets lost in translation: http://www.wineenthusiast.com/decanters-aerators/decanter-stoppers.asp?tid=3701&icid=TNVDCNTRSRTRSDCNTRSTPPRS), there are 2 beautiful round stoppers which were made to fit this decanter; one is glass and one is cork.

I like this decanter because a bottle of wine fills it to its widest point, thus maximizing the surface area. On big reds, I fill it through an aerator (which is very easy to do given the large mouth) and the wines open up very well. The only reason this doesn't get a fifth star is that it becomes somewhat difficult to pour the last of the wine out. The shape requires a near total inversion which can be cumbersome. Other than that, it works great and looks great.

Notice in all the wine demonstrations you'll see the wine expert pour into a decanter to allow wine to breathe, and yes to serve this way is so pretty on the table! Watch when your pour, it's a little tricky at the end, but is just a classy piece to add to your service.

"Dangerous" only in the best way. This was my first decanter, and each bottle of wine we decanted in it was exceptional. If you don't decant, you should. My only criticism is that, being new to decanting, I could have used a little primer that perhaps the manufacturer could have provided. Pas grave [...]

Purchased this as a gift for my father. Was worried that it might be very thin since I was buying it sight unseen and it was relatively inexpensive, but it was nice and substantial. [...] My dad was pleased with it, it was exactly what he was looking for. Overall good experience.

You can basically use anything from an old flower-vase to a lemonade pitcher to decant wine. But this decanter is especially useful because of its wide base. Only down side is the occasional drip that runs down the outside of the decanter after pouring.

The one drawback that isn't too hard to overcome, is that the last pours require you to completely invert the decanter. It is a little awkward. I would HIGHLY recommend both a decanter brush and drying object to be purchased with this item.

We use this decanter to add a "splash" to our evenings. A nice designed decanter, although ergonomically it's somewhat awkward in the pour (especially towards the end of the bottle). Unfortunately it does drip, so tie a bit of paper towel around the narrow neck to capture dripping. It seems fragile, but maybe not. Cleaning is challenging unless you have an inexpensive, non-too-stiff brush baby bottle cleaner. I use the WE drying stand, which is perfect for this item. My next decanter will be a higher end item, because I don't want the drip and wish a heavier, sturdier glass. But it's a good first purchase.

For an inexpensive decanter this does the job nicely. Its wide base is perfect for the .75 bottles. It tends to fog up after cleaning. I have to take my drying brush to it several times before it completely dries. It is also a little difficult to handle. My last decanter had a concave base which made it a little easier for pouring but it was also thin glass and broke easily. This one is much sturdier. I would definitely recommend the cleaning tools and a funnel for aeration.

Bought this as a gift...she used it the very same day she opened it and loves it. Looks great and the stopper works to create a great place to keep "leftover" wine. None of the great looking decanters are easy to clean, but that shouldn't deter you from purchasing this. There are several items out there to make cleaning this easier.

There are more expensive decanters out there but this one is just as appealing to the eye without the bigger price tag. It is hard to keep from dripping when finishing a pour but that is because of the shape of the opening. I'm guessing you would have the same trouble with the more expensive brands. I would recommend as a great bargain that looks like you spent a lot of money. Decants beautifully as it should.
